Leigh

[remdrem]

Thoughts on Leigh for a little girl please?

Love it, very simple and versatile.

Not my type of name but nor would I go " they called her that!!!" Perfectly normal name.

It’s the name of a town in the north west so no I wouldn’t.

I know a male Leigh. Its ok

Not keen but thats my opinion and its only yours that matters. Obviously its not a ridiculous name so if you love it go for it. Im a fan on Leah/Leigha/Lia though!

How is it pronounced?

Like Neigh 🐴?

Lee

I'm personally not a fan of names that sound the same in both genders:
Leigh and Lee
Peta and Peter
Charley and Charlie

I prefer Leah, but Leigh is easy to pronounce, not popular

I'm not keen on surnames as first names and most of them are boys' names. I like Leah though.

Leigh Teabing was a British male aristocrat in The Da Vinci Code, which I always thought was a bit daft.

its a bit 80s. Not really keen.

I like it for a girl.

I would never have guessed that Leigh was pronounced Lee and not Leigh/Neigh?

I’m afraid I think it’s quite ugly.

I like it, I've also known women who spell it Lee and like that too.

It’s a great name! It’s strong, uncommon, can’t be shortened. Depends on your surname though.

Boring sorry.

The last three letters are silent 😁

Leah is a bit nicer.

Every Lee in school in the 80s was a scallywag. They’d all be 50 ish now. I think it’s awful for a boy and worse for a girl.

For me it’s no different to calling a little girl Wayne, Gary, Darren or Terry.

I know one and she's really nice but she's about 50. Same as the Lees (maIe ) know.

Have you not come across women/girls with names like Ashleigh and Kayleigh?

My friend's husband is called Leigh.

I thought it was more of a male name

I think that it's quite dated.
I was born in 1964.
Virtually every other girl was Lea/Tracy/Debbie/Joanne and there were quite a lot of boys called Lee

I’m mid 50’s and my name is Lee. I have hated it from I was old enough to have an opinion. To this day, I am embarrassed when I have to tell people my name. There are beautiful names you could pick from, please don’t saddle your DD with Leigh/Lee.

@Nannyogganny, Probably was but both Leigh and Lee have been used for women. I know a male Lea ('Lee') and people with the surname Lea ('Lee').

I know Leah is from the Bible but I'm not keen. I never know if it's Lee-a or Ley-a.

Very dated (same as Lee for a boy). I quite like Leah, but Leigh is dull.
